It's up to the party and GM, but yes. Cavaliere is just one griffon but he's caught an enemy squad in an ambush. With more guns they could easily be wiped out Cavaliere could have done it alone with a single fragmentation grenade. I think taking out the squad leader may be sufficient however since that would force the group to retreat, buying us time.

See, that's why I asked. I don't think Posey has any real reason or motivation to get involved, but ooc I was wondering if I was expected to do something. That's why I asked in that spoilered message.
I thought that Kira and Cavalier should be able to outrun them, since the fog limits visibility, but it looked like their players wanted help.

.

And GM, can we impose some kind of etiquette policy against excessive/constant complaining about trivial nonsense? It's unsustainable and unfun. I'm really sick of it. Maybe that's selfish of me to ask, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to ignore.

Rosey, Im sorry. I cant be impartial or unbiased with this group, even when my character is fucking off elsewhere.

I genuinely like you. Youre one of the most amazibg players I've ever interacted with. I would have that you not feel upset by whatever stupid shit I'm doing/thinking, but I can be quite insistent.

I had Brie leave the main storyline because I want you all to do the things and have the fun. I'm sorry I got caught up in backseat driving.
Yeah, Im also insufferable. I know it. So, don't you go, I'll go.

Garv, I want you to think really carefully about your next moves. You are inches away from a large group of highly trained and disciplined soldiers who are very trigger happy given the current situation but have yet to realize where you are. Kira, the only other creature who was nearby, just had to flee and took 26 damage in the attempt, reducing her to 2 HP. Please, take the opportunity given to you and escape.

Well, I that too, until the posts that said so disappeared.
Brie's player is not in the picture anymore, so the least I can do is help get through this encounter.
If that is not acceptable, I understand completely. I will just fly off or whatever you want to do with my character.

The Volley rules are useful when you have 10+ archers shooting at once in an encounter. It speeds up combat significantly, especially if the leader of the group is commanding 50 skeletons.

Cavalier and Kira just evaded a CR ~7-9 encounter on their own, under unfavorable circumstances (being outgunned). Based on my calculations, it may be appropriate to check if they leveled up, having accrued somewhere between 5750-9250 XP (about 2100-3150 ahead of the rest of the party) over the course of this adventure. I don't know how level progression is supposed to work, but the increased HP from leveling might be necessary soon, since they are both critically wounded.

I could be wrong though. I can only extrapolate CR by the apparent abilities and HD of the enemies.

Uhm, with all due respect, consider depositing that deplorable position into the most readily-available fire, because thats where it belongs.

No, GM pony hasn't screwed anyone, that has been your/our doing. Do you honestly not realize how insufferable players are?

>That encounter may have seemed overleveled for the two of you alone, but consider that the risk of splitting the party is the threat of meeting party-level encounters alone. Considering the GRU were PC-classed characters, it's likely that that encounter was written weeks ago for the entire party to fight, only for Kira and Garv to run into solo, and they had an especially bad matchup because they had no Evoker to fireball the lvl 1 enemies.
That's very true. I was frustrated because Kira had rolled a 28 to find the Lieutenant, and had decent spot/listen rolls to boot, but found only enemies instead. I understand that finding the trail of a character does not preclude enemies from being on that trail, but the outcome feels unfair.
Also, I am frustrated because I didn't take a frag grenade and even one would have wiped out several in that group.

You're right. I guess I am as easily frustrated as anyone else.

Cavaliere effectively supported Kira and helped to distract the enemy long enough for her to flee. Was it worth it to be sunk to such low HP that he can't take a single hit in combat? I don't know, but I would not have acted differently regardless.

Alright. If we can confirm visuals on them within 170 feet, I could tap their entire group with Kelgore's Grave Mist: at that range, their Wizard won't be able to correctly identify the spell, which means they won't know its effects or duration; with a bluff check, it only appears to be a low level frost burst spell. Their first response will be to return fire with rapid shot, which means they likely won't move out of the area of the spell until the second round, at which point it will be too late and the Mist will exhaust them. The -4 penalty from exhaustion would make the machine gunners unable to use their rapid shot feat, which would severely reduce their damage per round. Warrior NPCs will have an average of 6-8 HP, which means that the damage from the mist may kill them. The Wizard sustained 6 damage, so a good roll on the d6 from the mist may kill her. Same goes for the Bard.

Considering these are elite Spetsnaz troops, odds are they have much more than 6-8 HP.

I'm making estimates under the pretense that this is a party-level encounter that we're supposed to overcome, and not just run from. Creatures with elite PC classes have CR equal to their level.
I guess if we assume that they're in elite PC-classed, Fighter HP should be around 12. I wouldn't expect any but one of them to be above level 1, likely the Bard or the Mage. I may have killed the mage already though.

I guess there's always the possibility that this is an encounter above the party's level, but that's not what I would normally expect in a low-magic game.

How many encounters have we had in this adventuring day? About nine? The latter half of them could be considered unfavorable conditions: we may level up soon.

I feel kinda bad for GM pone. He put in the time and effort to come up with a combat encounter for the party, and it gets spoiled because Kira thought they were the missing airponies and then crit failed her hide check when she encountered them. You guys think we should fight them as GM pone originally planned?

My vote would be to first try to parlay with them, since we have Silver who speaks Severyanan and Black Heel whose the GRU should respect. And if that doesn't work, then we stand and fight defensively.

I think that's probably our best bet. We can't just go around them because the size of our party prohibits sneaking past them (and our track DC would be so low that they would inevitably follow them).
>>190731
That would mean giving up the benefit of surprise. Idk if that's wise.
Then again, it would be difficult to approqch without them seeing us anyway. I could try to charm them with my gaze, and hypnotize those who pass the save.

If Kira could stealthily lead Posey close enough to cast a spell and retreat behind cover, I could probably kill them all with Summon Swarm. A swarm of bats is impervious to weapon attacks and single-target spells, and causes bleed damage that needs healing to stop. If I can conjure a swarm of bats above them and concentrate on the spell long enough from a safe position, they would fire uselessly into the swarm and waste their ammo until they all die from bleed damage.
